KNITZVAH -- THE WORK OF OUR HANDS
Meetings will resume September 15th, 2010. Our new project is hats for children and adults, to be distributed at the annual Christmas dinner in Katonah. Our ongoing project is 8" squares for Afghans (for children) in Africa orphaned by AIDS. Even if you don't join us for our meetings, you can join the effort by knitting or crocheting remotely.
For more info on Knitzvah in general, or these particular projects, contact Cathy Lewis Dreilinger at cathyjlewis@optonline.net or 232-6665.
COMIDA FRESCA -- THE WORK OF OUR HEARTS
Comida Fresca (literally ‘fresh food’) is a joint project of Sisterhood and the Tikkun Olam Council created in 2008 to stock the snack bar at Neighbors Link's vita Community Center. The purpose of Comida Fresca is to encourage healthier snacking among the Latinos who congregate at the Center to learn, get work and socialize. The snack bar is a key source of revenue for the organization, and those staffing it learn and practice useful business skills. Two volunteers are needed per week (on Mondays and Tuesdays) to purchase and deliver the following to Neighbors Link at 27 Columbus Avenue in Mt. Kisco between 7:30 AM and 9:00 PM: 2 cases (24 bottles in each) spring water, 2 bunches bananas (stagger ripeness, if possible) 1 crate of Clementines or a large bag of eating orangesA website has been set up to facilitate sign-ups. Go to www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/620158 to join this very worthwhile community.
THE OPPORTUNITY SHOP
When you do your spring cleaning, bring any unwanted clothes and bric-a-brac (chatchkas!) to the Op Shop (61 North Greeley Ave). One person’s trash is another’s treasure…and the Op Shop has enabled Sisterhood to purchase so many things for the temple for over 50 years, starting with the land the Temple stands on! Donations are accepted daily from 10 am to 4 pm; consignments may be brought in daily from 10 am to 12 noon.
